Video: Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa Confident Rupiah Could Strengthen to Rp 15,000/USD

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - CNBC Indonesia, together with the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS), hosted Jogja Financial Festival 2026 on 22-23 May 2026, featuring a financial festival, business talks, educational classes, a comedy live show, exhibitions, concerts, and a career corner.

Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, in dialogue with CT Corp Founder and Chairman Chairul Tanjung at Jogja Financial Festival 2026, outlined the government’s rationale for establishing a state-owned enterprise (BUMN) dedicated to exporting strategic commodities, namely PT Danantara Sumber Daya Indonesia.

This BUMN was set up to strengthen governance of the export of natural resource commodities and to root out transfer pricing practices and under-invoicing or other fraud in the export of key natural resource commodities, namely coal, crude palm oil (CPO), and Ferro Alloys (Iron Alloy).

Regarding the Devisa Hasil Ekspor (DHE) for natural resource commodities, which is required to go to Bank Himbara, this is aimed at ensuring that foreign exchange inflows remain within the country, so as to bolster the nation’s foreign exchange reserves and strengthen the exchange rate, so the public does not need to worry about the Rupiah weakening.

On the economic conditions, growth of 5.61% is reflected in consumer data, along with government spending, with the Budget Deficit (APBN) kept below 3%.
